Stanley wins NSW 1:8 Onroad State Title

ARC factory driver Brayden Stanley has given the Taiwanese manufacturer the RCRA NSW State Title in 1:8 Onroad after taking the win at John Grant International Raceway in Sydney.  Racing at the former IFMAR 1:8 Onroad (2001) and 1:8 GT (2023) World Championship host track, the young Australian took the TQ after topping three of the five qualifiers at the rain effected weekend.  Team-mate Jeffrey Mackie made it a 1-2 for the ARC 8.4LCG on the starting grid with the Mugen Seiki of Tim Moylan completing the Top 3.  Despite a ‘super chaotic’ but dry 30-minute final, Stanley, who is part of ARC’s international electric touring car team, would take the win by half a lap from long time leader Mackie.  Coming through from 8th on the grid, Johnny La Sprina completed the podium with his Xray.  In 1:10 Nitro Touring the NSW title went to Andrew Bardetta ahead of Xray team-mate Michael Stone while in 1:8 GT the winner was Rick Seymonsbergen driving a Hong Nor.
